Chapter 25: Will you faint from the pain when we get married?
Li Lie was silent for a long time, and the surroundings became very quiet for a moment, with only the sound of Wanqiao crunching his dry food downstairs.
I don't know what time it is now. This is not a solution. I need to find an opportunity to leave the mountain as soon as possible. Li Lie is still useful now. I can't just watch him die. Lou Wanqiao thought about it and gave him some dry food.
"I know that His Royal Highness Prince Duan is too proud to bow his head. Please eat."
Li Lie looked at the dry food wrapped in cloth on his lap, picked it up and put it to his mouth. He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Lou Zizhao."
“Cough cough cough!”
Lou Wanqiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of water and coughed repeatedly, then quickly closed the lid and glared at him: "No, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Zizhao?
It seems like their relationship isn't that close yet? How could this person call her that?
Li Lie didn't expect her to react so strongly. He was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly raised his hand to wipe away the splashed water. He said unhappily, "Does it have to be like this, Lou Wanqiao?"
Well, much more normal.
Lou Wanqiao rolled his eyes. "I'm the one asking you this, Your Highness Prince Duan. Why would you leave the finery of the capital and come here for no reason?"
Li Lie didn't respond.
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
This place is remote and quiet with only the two of them. Now that Prince Duan is in her hands, isn't he?
It's a good time to negotiate terms.
Lou Wanqiao cleared his throat and was about to speak when he heard Li Lie suddenly speak.
His tone was completely different from before. It was low, tentative, and a little cautious. "What do you think of me?"
The atmosphere was so bizarre that she didn't know how to react. She stiffly opened the lid again and took a sip of water to calm herself down. "Uh... not so good?"
"We're getting married."
"puff--"
"Can you calm down? It's very cold." Li Lie wiped the water off his face, and there seemed to be some helplessness in his words.
Huh? Huh?
What does he mean?!
Lou Wanqiao's heart was filled with turmoil.
She had been investigating for so long, but she had never gotten any information that "Prince Duan is a homosexual"! !
Although he was shocked, but... no, wait, considering the relationship between Prince Duan and her where they were always trying to assassinate each other, how could he say such a thing!
The most "intimate" thing they had ever done was probably sending assassins to hide on each other's beams.
Lou Wanqiao couldn't understand.
She was silent for a long time, trying hard to interpret what he meant, before she finally understood what Li Lie meant: "Are you going to faint from the pain?"
Li Lie: “?”
"Didn't you faint from the pain earlier? I had to carry you here on my own with all my strength. Prince Duan, shouldn't you thank me properly? Give me a huge gift of gold, or..."
"This king says, let's get married, I'll marry you."
Oh, I heard it, this time I heard it clearly.
Lou Wanqiao curled his lips and said in a strong voice, "I am not a homosexual."
She raised her head and looked at Li Lie's puzzled face, and said righteously, "Your Highness, although I don't know what your hobbies are, I really don't like men, let alone men like you. Given our relationship, if you really dislike me, you don't have to resort to such extreme measures. If you have any difficulties, even though you don't have any, you can tell me."
"No, you..." Li Lie couldn't speak clearly. He seemed to have a lot to say, but couldn't find the right words to describe his current mood. "I am not what you think."
"What's that? You can't possibly fall in love with me after fighting with me for so long, and then be unable to extricate yourself from it? That's impossible, Prince Duan, what do you like about me? My evil heart or my dirty hands?" Lou Wanqiao's face was full of playfulness. "Or when I draw my knife to kill you?"
It's so funny, he even wants to "marry you", he almost wants to take her life!
Li Lie's expression changed again and again. Unable to contain his anger, he shouted angrily, "Lou Wanqiao!"
"Hey, I'm here." Lou Wanqiao replied slowly, and suddenly remembered what she wanted to do before. She moved to Li Lie's side and smiled slyly, "Prince Duan, I saved your life. Now there are only two of us in the cave..."
"Ah... um." Li Lie didn't quite understand what Lou Wanqiao wanted to say, but he still responded softly, and the tips of his ears inexplicably turned red.
"If you don't tell me everything you know, I'll kill you right here." She stared at him with her eyes downcast, her tone sinister.
Li Lie was a little confused: "What do you want to know?"
"Oh, well, this is a good place to talk without anyone eavesdropping. Let's talk about those secrets slowly."
“…”
-
The wind and snow stopped.
Lou Wanqiao was satisfied, while Li Lie had no expression on his face.
He even gritted his teeth a little.
"Let's go, Prince Duan, it's time to leave the mountain." Lou Wanqiao shook his robe and stood up, helping Li Lie.
He was indeed quite frank, a hundred times more approachable than before. Lou Wanqiao was puzzled, but such a good opportunity was hard to come by.
Well, maybe it was because of her casual rescue, or maybe it was because he was temporarily injured and unable to draw his sword. In short, Li Lie "surrendered" temporarily for some reason and said a lot of things to her.
Lou Wanqiao was quite satisfied with the strange changes she couldn't explain. After all, it didn't do her any harm at the moment, except for some mental attacks.
She walked out of the cave and turned around to see Li Lie standing there, leaning against the stone wall. She was a little confused, but she saw that he looked serious: "Think carefully about what I said."
Uh? Which sentence?
He said nothing more and limped out.
Lou Wanqiao glanced at him and kindly offered a suggestion: "You can use your sword as a crutch for a while. This road is not easy to walk on, and it would be very troublesome if you fell."
Li Lie said "hmm" and said, "I am fine, you take care of yourself."
Tsk, that's even weirder.
She glanced at the map, carefully determined the direction, and walked forward. Li Lie followed slowly behind her.
Both of them have good martial arts skills and are in good health. Although they were slightly injured, it was not serious. Lou Wanqiao estimated that if there were no accidents, they should be able to get out within today.
The boots dug into the snow, shallowly and deeply, and the biting cold wind made people feel scared.
Neither of them spoke in order to conserve as much energy as possible.
It was very quiet all around, even the sound of people hurrying on their way was drowned out by the wind and snow.
But Lou Wanqiao sensed something was wrong at that moment. Without hesitation, she turned around and dove, tumbling into the snow with Li Lie.
Li Lie was caught off guard, and before he could even utter a word, his mouth was covered. Lou Wanqiao raised his head with a cold look in his eyes and said, "Get out of here."
A spear sunk deep into the spot where they had been standing.
A contemptuous laugh came from above. Someone stood in the snow, a spear in his hand cold and icy. "Quite sharp."
Lou Wanqiao supported himself on Li Lie's arm and stood up, and kindly helped him, then looked up.
It was the man in black from last night.
The silver plates on his armor reflected a cold light. Lou Wanqiao drew his sword from his waist and blocked it in front of him.
"You're lucky enough to survive." His tone was not without regret. "I've been looking for you for a long time. I thought you were buried in the snow, but I didn't expect you were just hiding."
"It's a pity that you will surely die here today."
Lou Wanqiao sneered, "Really? That saves me from having to look for you. This is the first time I've seen someone come up to me after washing their own neck. It really opened my eyes."
Li Lie hesitated to speak.
She glanced sideways: "What do you want to say?"
Li Lie said, "You have a very poisonous tongue."
"Your first discovery?"
“…”
An eagle circled across the sky.
The man in black leaned forward with a spear in hand, and Lou Wanqiao met him head-on with a knife in hand. The cold weapons collided and quickly bounced off, and a strong wind blew up thousands of piles of snow.
She glanced to the side and saw that Li Lie was not in good condition and was injured.
Lou Wanqiao has never been a person who puts his hopes on others.
She had left some very discreet marks along the way, and her men had left the mountain early, so she wasn't sure if they could get back any news. With any luck, reinforcements would arrive in time, but if not, she was confident she wouldn't die here.
But it is not certain whether Li Lie can survive.
Lou Wanqiao weighed the pros and cons in his mind, not daring to slack off even a bit. This man's style of play was very aggressive, almost no defense, only offense. It seemed he was going for a one-for-one trade.
They must be the assassins raised by Li Lianhan.
She dodged the sweep of the spear, raised the embroidered spring knife in her hand from bottom to top, exerted force with her wrist to knock the opponent several steps away, and then kept some distance to catch her breath.
The other person was injured, his black clothes were soaked with blood, but he seemed not to feel the pain and didn't even frown.
A bit tricky.
A cold light flashed, and she narrowed her eyes to see Li Lie not far away also drawing his sword.
"Hey." Lou Wanqiao suddenly smiled and stared at the man in black. "What's your name?"
"twelve."
The words and the gun tip came at her at the same time. Lou Wanqiao turned sideways and blocked with her sword. At the same time, a long sword passed in front of her eyes, blocking the gun across her face, and after a moment's pause, it swung to the other side.
A faint fragrance penetrated into her nostrils, and a corner of a white dress passed by her eyes. The sword body was pressed against her Embroidered Spring Knife, but there was no resistance at all, and instead the person was knocked several steps away.
"Zizhao, I'm late."
A familiar voice sounded, and Wen Xuechi stood in front of her with a serious expression, his eyes burning with anger. He whispered softly in her ears, and then he attacked Twelve swiftly.
The flashing of swords and sabers was a sight to behold. He exerted great force, and the sound of swords and guns clashing resounded, sharp and piercing.
Lou Wanqiao turned around and saw that her men had also arrived.
She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't need to take any action next, so she could rest for a while. Lou Wanqiao took two steps back to a safe area and instructed, "Finish him here. Don't let him get away."
"yes!"
Twelve was already in worse shape after his injuries, and now he was retreating even further after fighting with several others. He was forced to the edge of the cliff by Wen Xuechi and glanced back.
Lou Wanqiao seemed to sense something and raised her head to meet his gaze.
Just as he jumped.
She took the longbow from the subordinate beside her, drew the bow and arrow, and shot without mercy.
"I told you that you would die in my hands."
An arrow pierced the heart.
Twelve fell straight back and fell off the cliff.

Lou Wanqiao: Even if I die, I will take someone with me.
Li Lie (confident): She has me in her heart
